I found it a little disturbing that a pocket gopher was tearing up several lawns in my neighborhood. They listening to a lawn guy that said they could do nothing about it, as it was caused by moles. Also disturbing is the lack of concern about this problem, and no willingness to spend a dime to correct it, as this situation was going on for a year and I wasn't aware of the neighborhood problem, as it hadn't directly affected me.

I called Massey and they referred me to a wildlife specialists. The pocket gopher was caught and life goes back to normal. It's good to know that I could have called community standards to resolve this issue.

Bottom line is that 2 of my neighbors did step up to the plate and share the cost to resolve this problem. I guess what bothers me is, that some people will spend a lot of money to repair a situation, but not spend any money when the problem is much smaller. It doesn't make sense to me to have several thousands dollars in lawn repairs, when it could be resolved with a couple of hundred.

What were they thinking?
